Project Name: ESI Bridges

ITA and ESI are partnering to replace trail bridges on the Sixteen to One Trail in the Boise National Forest. South of Warm Lake, four bridges burned in the first two miles during the 2024 Goat Fire; ESI and ITA will help construct two this year, and two next! This trail is used by all user groups so having bridges is much appreciated not just from hikers, but also the two wheeled and four-legged communities that would frequent these trails!

This is a beautiful drive along the South Fork Salmon River that climbs over passes (past hot springs) and through meadows to the destination at the end of Stolle Meadows Road. We’ll car camp here and hike up to 1.5 miles one way into the project site
